Screen printing works well for simple one-color artwork. Digital or UV printing can handle more color detail on compatible surfaces.Laser engraving is commonly used on metal Pens because it creates a clean, permanent mark by exposing the underlying surface. Artwork should usually be provided as vector files for the sharpest results, especially when the logo includes small type, fine lines, or detailed marks.Logo placement is typically on the barrel, clip, or cap. Buyers should consider imprint size, Pen color, logo contrast, and how the Pen will be viewed during use.
